On the exploration of food and art:

"Reaching Out" is a temporary work of public art meant to celebrate the foundation of plants and the food we make with them. A network of two-story tall roots, painted in a spectrum of color reflective of the palette, reach out to each other, illustrating the interconnectedness of the systems that build our world.
